Bells and Belfries

The Cover illustrates a primary topic of this issue, an investigation of the bell towers of Rutland Vermont’s churches, the majority of those bells having been forged in Troy, New York.

One, the oldest former Catholic Church was found lacking a bell tower, and therefore no bell; three others had been converted to ring electrically. Only one, Grace Congregational Church, converted to a carillon.

The remainder of the issue concerns itself with the 1978 annual report of the Society’s financial standings; a listing of the current membership; and a number of proposed

amendments to Bylaws.
